Art. s"<dgtY) .I> to (Z 9 4))e WITH "THE TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1838. It is on Thursday next that Mr. GROTE'S motion for leave to bring in a " Bill for taking votes of Par liamentary electors by way of Ballot" is to be brought forward, and we are not aware that any domestic question causes an equal interest in the country. It has survived the temporary excitement growing out of the insurrection in Canada, which, amongst its other lamentable consequences, tended to abstract the public attention from the means of effecting political improvement at home. In fact, while that has sus pended the consideration of almost all other sub jects, the Ballot, as the increasing number of public meetings and of societies established to procure it show, has only become more exclusively and more intensely the chief object of public demand. That it is making great progress in the opinion of 'the bulk of the electors, and particularly of those electors from whom the Ministers deserve their chief support, is, we think, palpable. So many instances of intimida tion were brought to light during the last election, that the evils of the system of open voting were brought feelingly home to nearly every mm in the country. Few even of those electors who then escaped intimi dation, and were allowed freely to exercise their own judgment, can be quite secure that some abitrary land lord, some ambitious and tyrannical customer—some busy, bustling Committee of some combined workmen —may not attempt to influence or control their votes at the next election; and the most independent electors now ask the Ballot as a protection. Even where men have no direct interest to serve, the love of meddling and of domineering is so great and so universal, that each individual, however much he may share this disposition, desires to be saved from its operation in others. Most politicians, indeed, are now thoroughly convinced that the system of open voting is pregnant with evils ; being also convinced that these evils must be put an end to, or the whole representative sys tem will fall into discredit, and no other remedy being even suggested than the Ballot, the wish to try that has become almost universal. Many of those who were its most distinguished opponents have become, on these grounds, like Lord BROUGHAM, the advocates for making the experiment. Not having been here put to the proof, and the electors groaning under the intimidation, it is plain those who plead for it have a manifest advantage over those who op pose it ; and so powerful has been their influence, that it may be doubted whether anything but actually put ting it to the proof, will convince the electors either that the Ballot is, or is not, a complete protection. Nor can we see any interest or motive which the Ministers can have for opposing Mr. GrnoTE's mo tion. There may be amongst them individuals who disapprove of the Ballot, as there are many ardent and zealous Reformers, not in the Ministry, who think it will not answer expectation, and therefore con scientiously resist the demand for it, as exciting the people to waste their power on what they say is a worthless object. But whatever individuals may think and do, the Ministers ought not to be guided by any personal opinions or considerations. They must look only to the public welfare. Now, it is in the nature of things that they must believe that their presence in her MAJESTY'S councils is for the public welfare. If they thought otherwise—if they thought that their retention of office was injurious to the interests of their SOVEREIGN and the empire at large, they would be bound, as responsible and honest men, to resign. By retaining office, and by exerting themselves to keep their party together, so that they may remain in office, they only do that which all Ministers have done, and have always considered coincident with the public wel fare. No Ministers can brand themselves by tacitly ad mitting that they are unworthy of their situation. To keep themselves in office, therefore, is a part of their duty to themselves as well as to the public, and parti cularly to that portion of the public who constitute the great body of the electors favourable to them. The Ministers are for the whole empire, but they are kept in place by the confidence of those electors who, nearly one and all, now demand the Ballot. It is, in our view of the matter, contrary both to the duty and the interest of Ministers to oppose that which, not being morally wrong, nor palpably injurious, the bulk of their supporters demand. Whatever might have been the case formerty, the theory of the Con stitution has become a reality since the Reform Act was passed, and no Ministers can retain power who have not the confidence of the electors. Of the anti-ballot potion of the community Sir RO BERT PEEL and his friends are the representatives ; and for the Ministers now to act on their opinions, in opposition to the opinions of their own supporters, and thus to forfeit their confidence, is in reality to side with Sir ROBERT PEEL—to strengthen his interest in the country—and to carry him, at no distant day, triumphantly into aloe. We are too sincerely convinced of the great benefits which the retention of office by the Ministers will confer on the country, not earnestly to deprecate on their part a course of policy which would offend their own Parliamentary friends, and place the Tories in power. They must not, either in defe rence to the public welfare, or to their own interest, make the rejection of Mr. GROTE'S motion a Cabinet measure. It is deeply to be lamented that Lord BitoucaList is no longer in the good graces of the " leading Jour nal of Europe." What avails it that he is foremost in rank and intellect among the Reformers of the agc, if the Thunderer refuse him its countenance and pa tronage ? We protest we look upon his Lordship as a man worthy of the sincerest commiseration—as a man over whose cruel lot the most callous heart might shed tears, seeing that he is now formally proclaimed " a nuisance" by that very Journal, which, but a few short years since as formally proclaimed him one of the shining lights of the age ! As it is the highest honour that a British statesman can possibly obtain, to be lauded by the .Times, so must it be the deepest afflic tion he can undergo, to be denounced by our omni potent and omniscient contemporary. Some calamities may be braved with a bold front, but there is no en during this. Hence is it that we are so powerfully affected with compassion for Lord B ROUG it Am, whose bright political and intellectual lustre must, if the Times persist in its present cruel course of conduct, be infallibly ere long extinguished. But is there no hope that our contemporary will relent ? Alas ! we fear not. Lord 13Roucunm has sinned he yond all hope of pard6n, in the estimation of Printing House-square. He has dared to think for himself, instead of allowing the Times to think for him. He has sternly set his face against apostPxy, in stead of gently deprecating its little waywardnesses, and patting it on the head for its mistakes. He has dared to call things by their true names, and to say that a renegade Journal is a renegade Journal, no matter how dexterous may be its trimming, or how in genious the sophistry , by which such trimming is de fended. Our • contemporary's present cause of quarrel with his Lordship is, that he has endeavoured to pnt the complex case of the Glasgow Cotton-spinners on its proper footing ; to explain the precise law on the sub ject ; and to show to what extent humanity may in terfere without prejudice to justice. This is the " head and front" of his offending, and for this he is denounced as a " nuisance" by a Journal which, if it felt it were to its interest to take the same view of the case as his Lordship, would do so without hesitation to-morrow ! We consider the gross and infuriate abuse of Lord BROUGHAM by tile Times, as a hand. some and well-earned compliment to his consistency. By the arrival of the packet-ship Alert, at Fal mouth, on Saturday, we have received Halifax journals to the '2oth ult. inclusive. The Alert brings official dispatches from the Governors of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canadas ; but the general intelligence from Navy Island—the theatre of the rebellion in the Upper Province—is not of a later date than the accounts received by the last arrivals from New York. With the loyalists of Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, Sir FRANCIS BOND HEAD is a prodigious favourite. Addresses, breathing the most devoted attachment to his Excellency's person, and confidence in his wisdom and discretion, were in the course of preparation ; and to render the farce com plete, the Governors were prayed to imitate his example by getting rid of all the disposable forces, with a view of proving to the Mother Country how very orderly and loyal were her North American de pendeneies. The Cornwallis, Captain Sir R. GRANT, had conveyed the 65th Regiment from Jamaica to Halifax, from whence the men were to be draughted to Montreal with as little delay as possible. PAPINEAU is reported to have taken refuge at Washington, fearing to trust his head to the fidelity of the Republicans on the frontier, now that England has bid for it so handsomely. His papers and correspondence are reported to be enclosed in the official dispatches brought by the Alert. Rumours were afloat to the effect that they would be found to implicate persons in this country in the guilt of high treason. The Canada Government Bill received the Ro y al assent on Saturday, and is now the law of the land. It will immediately, we believe, he carried into execu tion by Sir JOHN CoLßortrtE, so far as his subor dinate power as Governor of Lower Canada will enable him to act on it. A number of laws will, we understand, expire in May ; and as the Legislature cannot now be called together to continue them, Sir JOHN will, under the new Act, continue them by his authority. But Sir JOHN COLBORNE not being Governor-General, will not be able to exercise those large powers which have been conferred exclusively on the Earl of DURHAM. The Act will come imme diately into operation ; but the powers conferred on the Earl of DURHAM will, of course, not be called into activity till he arrives in the Colony. We have been requested by the friends of the Abo lition to reprint the Speech of Lord BROUGHAM on the Slave Trade, with the interesting dedication to Lord WELLEsLEY, and we willingly comply with the request of these excellent persons. The appalling statements of that speech ought to be universally known, that the Government may be forced to do its duty, both as to head-money and the Foreign Slave Trade, without any delay. The Abolition Society, we rejoice to find, have ordered a cheap edition of several thousands of the Speech, to be printed for gene ral circulation. The Paris Journals of Thursday, Friday, and Sa turday, have all been received. Thursday's Monileur has the following official intelligence from the Spanish frontier : " BAYONNE, FEB. 5, FrvE P.M.—Accounts for Llodio of the 2d state that Espartero has withdrawn all the warlike stores and destroyed all the fortifications of Balmaseda, which he appears to have resolved to evacuate. The victory gained by Brigadier Leon over the Carlists is confirmed officially from Pampeluna. The capture and destruction of the bridge and the three forts of Belascoain, 200 prisoners, 120 killed, and 400 wounded, arc the results of this affair." In the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, the project of law for regulating the legislative costume, was lost by a majority of a hundred and ninety-six votes, to a hundred and fifty-eight ; so that this most interesting question is virtually set at rest for another year. We are glad of this for many reasons ; but prin cipally, because we suspect there are many Members of the Chamber of Deputies, whose heads would be turned by the mirrored reflexion of so impos ing an addition to their Senatorial dignity, as a laced coat. Had the Costume Bill been carried, Louis PH ILLIPPE would have had all his own way in Africa and Spain, as literary and political France would have had enough to do for the remainder of the Session in deliberating upon, discussing, and criticisiiT the distinctive peculiarities of cut and colour of sena torial garments in all ages and nations. By the way, we understand that certain ladies of the Court, adepts in political intrigue, proposed the scheme of the cos tume, which the KING was not slow to perceive might be turned to excellent account ; but it did not escape • the penetration of M. 'ln lERS, who was mainly in strumental in defeating it. The Committee on the Budget was nominated in the Seventh Bureau of the Chamber on Wednesday. The majority of the Members belonged to the Oppo sition, but this was supposed to be neutralized by the election of a Ministerial Reporter. Letters from Rome of the 25th ult., state that there is no immediate prospect of a renewal of amicable re lations between the Court of Berlin and the Holy See. The Pope will concede nothing, nor will he even treat with Prussia before the Archbishop of COLOGNE is restored to his Sec. The King of BAVARIA has taken part with the POPE, while Austria, with more prudence, is acting as a mediator, and to remove the greatest difficulty in the way of an amicable settlement of the question, has secretly proposed that the Arch bishop should remove to Vienna. The following are extracts from the journals : Extract of a letter from Vienna, dated the 31st ult., given by the Messager :—" A constant negotiation is•going on be tween our Cabinet and Constantinople, and frequent couriers are passing between the two capitals. The Sultan has formally requested the intervention of Austria in the new trial rel which has broken out between him and the Pasha of Egypt, and threatens to take justice into his own hands if Mehemet is not compelled to give him satisfaction and cease his armaments. The Cabinet of Vienna has promised to come to an under standing on the subject with France and England, and Prince Esterhazy sets out for London with particular instructions on this important matter. Russia is said to be no stranger either to the hostile demonstrations of the Pasha or the recriminations of the Divan." The Smyrna Journal of the 22d ult., publishes a letter from Be}•rout, dated Dec. 9, stating that on the Bth of the previous month a new order of the Pasha of Damascus had en joined all the tax collectors of the province to require of the Europeans a duty of three per cent. on all goods imported or leaving the country, in violation of the existing tariff and the firnian of the Sultan. The Consuls protested against this measure, and the Governor, after attempting to enforce it, had been obliged to relinquish the attempt. Ibraham Pasha had THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1838 or:!ered an immerse quantity of ship timber for the arsenal of Alexandria to be cut down in the forests of Syria. A coal mine ktely discovered in the mountains, five leagues distant from Beyrout, produced already about 250 quintals per day. Several cargoes of that article had been shipped for Alexandria and St. John of Acre.' " Five children were poisoned. a few days ago, at Epinal, in the VoTes, by sugarplums containing arsenic, which were given to them by a woman dres , ed as a peasant, w ho was a stranger to the place. She had taken her departure before the enormity was discovered, but the officers of justice are in pursuit of her." " We learn b 1 a letter of the 24th ult. from Cuxhaven, that the ice at the mouth of the Elbe broke up, and presented a most majestic spect,.ele. Between seven and eight o'clock in the evening the scene was heightened by a storm of thun der and lightning. In the night of the 21st the wind went round to north, and a great fall of snow came, which conti nued the whole of the 22d, producing an effect rivalling the re gions of Greenland. All the steamers and other vessels, which were preparing to take their departure, in consequence o f the transitory thaw, were compelled t o rema i n. " ..... ....

The Recounne, and the above-named Aldermen, took the usual oaths of allegiance, &c., under the new reign. A large number of the Members of the Court of Common Council also took the oaths, and were duly sworn for the present year. The swearing in of the constables of the different wards was then pro ceed with, which occupied nearly three hours. Shortly after one o'clock, the names of the gentlemen comprising the Grand and Petit Juries, were called over, when numerous excuses for non.attendance were made on various grounds, some of which wero al. lowed by the Court. Several absentees were fined 10/. eaeh. No cases had been tried when our Reporter left. WORSHIP STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Elaabeth Chapman was charged on suspicion of being concerned with others, in stealing between SO and 90 yards of black grog de Naples silk.

Arri►als this morning two French Mails, and one due ; two Ostend ship letters from Barbadoes, New Brunswick, Madras to the 29th of August, and Mauritius to the 19th of October. A Halifax Mail has also arrived by the Alert, which sailed on the 20th of January. Posted at the North and South American CoMe House " FALMOUTH.—The Alert packet arrived this morning from Halifax, sailed Jan. 20—no news later than you have in London. She has brought thirteen passengers. By the above conveyance we have re. cAved only Halifax Papers of the 10th of January—no news from Ha. lifax ; New Brunswick Papers of the 10th of January—they contain the Address of the Legislative Council to Sir John Harvey, in reply to his Speech. The house expresses its regret at the lamentable state to which the neighbouring Province of Lower Canada had been reduced by the treasonable and rebellious proceedings of a portion of its deluded inha bitants, but they felt assured that her Majesty's loyal subjects in the sur. rounding colonies would, if necessary, readily and heartily assist in preserving to the colonies and themselves the inestimable blessini r s of the British connexion. The House cordially concurred in the expres sion of admiration of the loyalty and gallantry of the Militia of Upper Canada. Various Military Movements.—The Royal Artillery, under 'Major Pringle, left on the Bth, for Fredcrickton, on route for Canada ; it was expected that the 43d Regiment, under Colonel Booth, would reach Quebec by the :27th of January. The other divisions, under Captains Fraser and Bell, were also on their way to Quebec. The garrison duty of New Brunswick was performed by the City Militia. The Lieutenant-Governor and Commander-in-Chief had publicly thanked the officers and men of the Ist Division of the York County Militia for their zeal _ and attention in the absence of the Queen's troops." _ _ . Prince Edward Island papers received to the 2d of January. The House of Assembly was to meet on the 23d of January for the dispatch of business. The above papers are void of news. THE FUNDS. To the present hour we do not hear either of the London or Liver. pool packet having arrived, oo doubt owing to the contrary winds at sea. Great anxiety and disappointment is experienced by the merchants and public in consequence of their non-arrival, but more particularly for the Liverpool one, which is now some days over due. This delay causes a great stagnation in the various speculations of the Funds, but more particularly in the British Market. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 01 s,.i 5 for the Account, and the same for Money, opened at the above prices this morning. Exche quer Bills, 55 57 ; India Bonds, 55 17 ; Bank Stock, '204, 205. The Foreign Market is in a similar state as that of the British—in. active.

On Saturday, the 10th inst., a General Assembly of the Academicians of the Royal Academy of Arts was held at their apartments in Trafalgar-square, when John Peter Deering, Thomas Uwins, Frederick Richard Lee, and Wil liam \\yon, Esqrs., were duly elected Royal Academicians, in the room of Richard \Vestal', Sir John Soane, John Con stable, and William; Daniell, Esqrs., deceased.

The principal characters to be supported by Mrs. Nis bett and Mrs. Yates. A RKETS.-(THIS DAY ) CORN EXCHANGE. The Corn-trade continued nearly in a state of suspension, till the close of last week, when the thaw reopened the navigation of the river. This morning business has been resumed, with a considerable supply of all kinds of Crain, and, th oug h t h e b uyers ' s tocks have recent l y decreased, yet they w ere very cautious in making purc haser. The Wheat samples are chiefly of middli ng quality, and a few supe rfine p arcels sold readily at Is. to 2s. per qr , more than prev iously to the fast, but for all other descriptions, former prices were submitted to without effecting a clearance. Barley is plentiful, and has met a very slack demand, and last quotat ions are hardly maintained. Beans also have scarcely sup. ported their late value. Peas are unvaried. There has been a fair business done in Oats, but prices are not higher than before the frost. The top price of Flour is settled at 52s and sales are slo wl y made at proportionate terms. 6 8 5 0: : Beans, White (61d). r . R .. 1 . ...

The advance in prices last Monday induced many persons to send to market today, and the consequence was that there was a large supply. Trade was slower in Beef, and prices went down, say 5/. in every 100/. A reduction was submitted to also in Mutton, although higher prices were:asked. The Beasts were chiefly Midland, and the Sheep Downs and half-bred. Veal was scarce and dear. In prices of Pork but little variation. PRICES PER STONE OF ISLa.

And should it continue, the demand will again become slack. At present there is but litt'e business advertised for this week. For to-morrow, Rice, Coffee, Mauritius and Barbadoes Sugar, are the principal commodities. Today we have no public sales, and by private contract but very little doing. Canadian produce remains very station ary. The Imports of all kinds of produce are rather better now than they were. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING LAST WEEr. I Oatv. Beans. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

Liverpool and Wakefield both flat and rather lower yester_ day. The business at our Corn Exchange this day is confined to retail transactions in every article. Holders of fine Wheats are not disposed to submit to much reduction, and we lower our quotations 2d. per bushel. Flour during the last fourteen days has been gradually declining in value, and we consider it fu:ly 2s. per sack lower than on this day fortnight. Our quotations for Oats are scacely supported. Meal 6d. per load cheaper. In other articles no particnlar variation. DERBY CORN MARKET. We had a good supply of Grain from the farmers at our market yes terday, but sales were very heavy. Best Wheat, 565. to 609.; fine Barley, 30s. to 335.; Grinding ditto, 26; to 2.95. ; Oats, 20s. to 26a. ; Old Beans, 41s. to 44; ; New ditto, 30s. to 355. NEWCASTLE MARKET, Fin. 10. At our Market to.day we had a good supply of Wheat from the In. terior, but moderate coastwise arrivals, and the whole met a free sale al Saturday's rates. In Barley we have little alteration to notice, and the arrivals continue small. Oats, though in good supply, sell ready at last week's prices, For Malt there is little inquiry, and late prices arc with difficulty realised. In Rye, Beans, and Peas we can note no change. The arrivals of Flour are truly equal to the demand, and the sale is .low at our quotations.

On Monday night, in solemn state, Just as the clock strikes half -past eight, Sir Robert Peel will rise and vent Much virtuous spleen on the Government ; And probably crack a joke with suavity, Thereby increasing the House's gravity ; lie will also, with wondrous powers of face, Protest that he hates all thoughts of place ; That his character's pure as unsunned snow ( Here Dan will be sure to cry out "Oh ; And that, not for more than sovereign sway, Would he " bolt," as Lord Glenelg would say, From his own, to the other, side of the way; For he shivers—" Hear, hear," from Colonel Tren4 At the very sight of the Treasury Bench ! TUESDAY. This night there will be an awful row; And thus 'twill originate, I trow ; Some fiery Joint of the Tail will claw From head to heel poor Freddy Shaw, For his speech, so devoid of sense and skill, Last Friday night on the Poor-law Bill; Whereat our Freddy, on slaughter bent, Will wax uncommon truculent ; And quit the House with looks of flame, While his grim opponent doth the same. But the Speaker will promptly interfere, 'Mid shouts of " Order," " Chair," and " Hear 1" And force each Member, as grave as an owl, To explain what he meant by his devilish scowl; Then one, in tones imbued with gall, Will swear he meant nothing personal; On which the other will quick reply, " If that's the case, no more did I ;" And both, dismissing all thoughts of murther,e Will promise to carry the thing no further WEDNESDAY.

This done, sage Brotherton will rise, And opening wide his heavy eyes Exclaim, in solemn tones and slow, " 'Tis twelve o'clock, high time to go ;" Just as some prim old nurse, you know, Says, patting her children on the head, " My loves, 'tis time to go to bed 1" EAT URDA Y.

PAIGNTON HARBOUR BILL. Sir JOIE , : YARDE BULLCR in the Chair. Petition against the intended Harbour Bill read. It stated that the undertaking would be to the great disadvantage and loss of proprietors and occupiers of land and homes, &c., i n Paignton ; and altogether productive of great h arns hi p and injustice. On t h e pream bl e o f th e Bill being referred to, the allegations of the petition appeared to be ground. less, it being distinctly averred that the work would be of the greatest possible advantage and utility to the public and to individuals. The clauses of the Bill were then proceeded with serialim. On the clause forbidding the rates of toll to be raised, or reduced " partially," a discussion arose, when it was decided by the Committee that the word partially applied to individual:, and not to particular tolls or portions of tolls. On a special saving clause in favour of the rights of the Lord of the Manor of Paignton being read, clause in such cases Was re commended by the Hon. Ch a i r man, and adopted by the Committ ee. the usual general saving w During the discussion on this clause it appeared that there were not less than eight or ten persons who claimed to be Lords of the Manor, on which the Committee congratulated the Harbour Company on the extensive prospect of legislation held out to th:rn. The whole of the clauses and schedules were then gone through without opposition, and the Committee adjourned. The Report to be made to the House by the Chairman this evening. SUB-COMMITTEE ON PETITIONS, NO. IV. Mr. GREIZNIZ in the chair. The room was full, and parties kept waiting upwards of an hour, as only four Members were present.) RIBBLE NAVIGATION. Petition read. Opposed by Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, Esq., M.P. ; objected first on the notices under the Order No. 1., page 21, which requires that the names of every existing " cut, canal, reservoir, aqueduct, and navigation" under an Act of Parliament, and which is interfered with, shall be mentioned. In this instance, the River Douglas, existing under an Act of Parliament, was marked on the plan, but omitted in the notice. Answer—That the river Douglas is not within the intended cutting. On this being proved, decided that the objection was not tenable. Objected on the plan that the intended cuts were not shown. Answer—That the object being merely to deepen the river without altering its direction, to show the river was sufficient —Objection disallowed. On this section it was ob jected that it did not, according to Standing Order, No. 11., page 22, " specify the levels of both banks of such cut, canal, reservoir, aqueduct, or navigation." (LEFT SITTING.) IPSWICH ELECTION COMMITTEE (THIS DAY.) Messrs. Tunell and Kelly were left on Saturday upon an equality. This morning the scrutiny re-commenced. The Liberals proceeded in their objection to Mr. Pepper's vote, it! going upon the same ground, of change of residence. The Committee decided that the ♦ote was bad. This giving Mr. Tuffnell a majority of one, the Tories objected to the vote of Mr. Orris, of Saint Margaret's Ditches; but they did not suc ceed in proving the removal, Mr. Orris continuing to occupy two house s to the time of the election. The Committee, therefore, disallowed the objection, and retained th e vote. (To be concluded in a Second Edition.) LONGFORD ELECTION COMMIT TEE.-(THIS DAY.) The Committee met this morning at ten o'clock, when Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE proceeded with his argument in favour of opening the register, for the purpose of going into the case of Michael Gilleesy, who was objected to by the petitioners on the ground of insuff i cient value at the time of registration. The Learned Sergeant did not conclude until half.past twelve. Mr. AUSTIN was then heard in reply. The room was cleared at two o'clock, and on our re-admission abou half an hour afterwards, the Chairman said—The Committee have, after the most anxious deliberation, decided not to open the register with respect to the case of Michael Gilleesy. ROXBURGH ELECTION COMMIT TEE.-(THIS DAY.) The Committee met at eleven o'cock Mr. William Rutherford, sheriff clerk of the county of Roxburgh, was then called, and produced lists of the persons registered in the dif ferent districts of the county of Roxburgh, of those who had polled at the late election for the District of Hawick, and of those who remained un. palled. Witness stated that Mr. J. Wilson was the person who waited on the sheriff on the subject of the erection of the booths on the part of Mr. Elliott, and through whom Mr. Elliott's share of the expenses was paid. Mr. Wilson was the agent of Mr. Elliott. The list of the persons who re. mained unpolled at the last election for the district of Hawick con. tained 131 names. Mr. Sergeant Mr.azwrritx a objected to the list being received in evidence. Although it certainly appeared by the register of 1836 that 131 persons had not polled at the last election, yet it was pal pable that those persons had died or been removed from the poll in the interval which had occurred between the time of Registration and the election. After a lengthened argument, it was finally agreed between Counsel on both sides, that the witness should examine the register of 1537„: compare it with that of 1836, and after placing distilictive marks before the names of those who had died, or been removed from the poll, lay in its amended fortn before the Committee. Mr, John Craigic stated that he was Sheriff Depute of the county of Roxburgh, and was Polling Sheriff for the district of Hawick ; went to Hawick about three o'clock the day before the election ; heard of the at tack on the mail shortly after his arrival; there was a great deal of rioting about the Tower Inn, and considerable surprise was manifested at his safe arrival. Sent for the magistrates of the town. Baillie Goodfellow said lie was quite said that if the rioting continued he would send off an express to the Marquis of Lothian, the Load Lieutenant of the County, for the assist. once of the military. The polling commenced at nine o'clock on the morning of the 3d of August. Saw voters coin ing into the town with their clothes torn and their persons injured. About a quarter to ten he received a notification from electors at the Tower Inn, stating that they would not exercise the franchise, unless protected going to and from the poll, and stating they had come to this determination in consequence of the violence they saw offered towards the Conservative voters. The communication was signed by 85 electors. Communicated this to the electors, who said they would give protection to sorb of the electors as claimed it individually. Received a notifica tion also from Mr. Thomas Scott, who complained of having been ducked in the river, and his clothes being torn, after polling. Received also another communication with respect to a voter named I.undy, stating that he had also been immersed In the water, and demanding that the poll should be stopped. Another representation was subsequently made to him, stating that Mr. L. was a prisoner, and that no com munication could be effected with him. Shortly afterwards he had another communication, stating that the Conservative electors would not be allowed to go to the poll. The next communication which he received, was from Mr. Hume, en agent of Mr. Scctt, requesting that the poll should be suspended for an hour to make further arrangements. Soon after saw Mr. Elliott, of Howe, a magistrate, come into the booth. His clothes were in tatters. Mr. Elliott stated that evidence of personal violence would be given if protection were afforded to the wit. nesses. IVitness applied several times to the Magistrates for protection. Received a notice relative to a voter named David Selby, stating that he had been stopped:and thrown into the river. On receiving the com plaint of eighty.four electors, witness offered to investigate the case, to which he received an answer from the Tower Inn, stating that if any one of the magistrates would attend there personal evidence would be given of the violence which had been used, but that the voters would not risk their safety by going to the poll, and demanded that it should be stopped The Mail arrived about twelve o'clock on the first day after the election. Lord John Scott and Major Macdonald were passengers in it, but were assaulted by the mob ; on hearing which witness adjourned the poll for . two hours. The rioting and confusion was very great. Some of the agents and partisans of Mr. Elliott objected to the adjournment of the poll. but witness considered it quite necrssary. Resumed the polling, however, in half an hour, in consequence of his having been assured by the Magis. trates that there was no longer any obstruction to the voters coming to the poll. Major Potts came shortly offer to the poll and stated that the Honourable Major Sinclair and another voter had been assaulted and their clothes torn off their backs. Witness again appealed to the Magistrates for protection. '1 hey pro mised to give protection. About half-past two witness received another communication stating, that unless protection were afforded them, voters would not go to the poll, and the protection giN en had not been sufficient. At a quarter to three he received a note stating that a voter, named It. Young, was, if not killed, his life was despaired of. He requested Bailie Wilson to go to the Tower Inn, and see how the matter stood. On his return, he said he found that Young's clothes had been torn, but he had not received any severe injury, and he added that he would have been all safe enough, had he claimed protection on several occasion' throughout the day, witness (LEFT SITTING.)

" TIIE Su ."—We cannot too often direct the attention of our readers to this extraordinary instance of skill and enterprise. Every day, at half-past ten o'clock in the morning, we actually receive " The Sun" Newspaper, contain ing (our readers will scarce credit it) the speeches delivered in both Houses of Parliament at seven o'clock the previous evening! I And not only does Mr. Young perform this won der with unvarying regularity, but The Sun contains proceed ings of the Law Courts, and the most extensive and accurate commercial intelligence that can be anywhere found. With no other motive but that of admiration for an enterprising contemporary, whose spirited exertions deserve the utmost support, do we recommend all who wish to take a daily Lon dun paper to order The Sun. We are confident they will not have received it a week, before they will thank us for recom mending to them the most really useful newspaper they ever read,—Somerset County Gazette. A grocer's shopman in the Rue du Faubourg Mont martre was, two days ago, amusing one of his companions by pretending to show him the manner in which the Basques and Spaniards poniarded their enemies, hut went too near his friend, and unintentionally plunged a sharp knife into his breast, which killed bias on the spot.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. London, Friday Night, Stn,—As a friend of Mr. Lynch's, I am happy to acquaint you that his return for Galway is a matter of certainty. His opponent is Sir Valentine Blake, the oldest Baronet in Ire. land, and a man of considerable talents, but a mere tool of the monks and priests, with which that town abounds. Mr. O'Connell gives his cordial support to Mr. Lynch. Sir John Burke has patriotically consented to withdraw his powerful claims on the Galway constituency, and it is melan choly to Fee Sir V. Blake acting the part of a " Tory Radi. cal," with no other prospect than putting his opponent to an immense expense. _ Between freemen and monks the honest Liberals run the risk of throwing the borough into the hands of the Tories. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. Z. THEATRES. COPENT-GARDEN. On Saturday evening the performances at this theatre were devoted to the benefit of " the Society for the Relief of the Aged Needy"—a society, as the name of it imports, most do. serving of the patronage of the public; and it gratifies us to say, that although th e th ea t re was no t crow d e d, it was yet so respectably filled as to warrant us in believing that the receipts would be of considerable advantage to the institution. The entertainment commenced with The ifinter's Tale, and this delightful play throughout was well performed. The comic scenes were well sustained by Bartley, Strickland, and Meadows. The opera of Fra Diavolo concluded the amuse. ments of the evening. ST. JAMES'S. A new one act burletta, called the Spitalfields Mayer, was performed here on Saturday evening. The piece was well acted, and received with deserved applause, of which Webster, who outshone himself, obtained an additional share when he came forward to announce its repetition. The piece is announced as the production of Mr. Haynes Bayly. N 1
